Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 July 2013
514. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will provide up-to-date figures detailing the total deployment of Garda by region, division, district and sub-district across the country; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36135/13]
View answerThe Deputy will be aware that the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the detailed allocation of resources, including personnel, throughout the organisation and I have no direct function in the matter. This allocation of resources is constantly monitored in the context of demographics, crime trends, policing needs and other operational strategies in place on a District, Divisional and Regional level to ensure optimum use is made of Garda resources and the best possible Garda service is provided to the public. I have however been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of every Garda Station, District, Division and Region broken down by rank on 30 June 2013, the latest date for which figures are readily available, is as set out in the table.
The table is available as attachment Q514.xls at the top of the webpage.
